The Christmas lights will be switched on at The Lough crib tonight
It’s one of those nostalgic Cork scenes.
In a sight that will take you right back to your Leeside childhood, the Christmas lights at The Lough will be officially switched on this evening, Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024.
The fun begins after dark at 7pm, when you can wrap up warm and stroll down to the waterside to watch the lights begin a-twinkling.
The Crib, which was installed by Cork City Council Parks Department and Electrical Team, will be lit up every evening until January 6th, renewing a tradition that’s become an integral part of the Christmas festivities in the city.

Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr. Dan Boyle will be on hand to do the honours and local kids will be treated to some fun with hot chocolate, mince pies and performers creating a festive atmosphere at the popular walking spot.
A protected wildlife and bird sanctuary, The Lough’s crib is on an island in the middle of the water, which means visitors don’t infringe on the daily routines of the many animals that call it home.
